EITHER: to be hidden and to exist on the right not to be seen.

OR: one shifts to a delerious exhibitionism of his own platitude and insignificance.

"If you remain hidden, you will regret it; of you shift you will also regret it; whether remain hidden or shift you will regret both" -Kierkegaard [paraphrase, of course]

Is anyone also seeing a seductive simplification in cross-referencing as I do? Kierkegaard did at least say the ethical (to be revealed) was offensive (violence)
